The retiree’s luncheon at St. John’s Event Center on May 12th was a big hit with 80 members attending. As always, it was nice to see all those guys again. Thanks to all of you who attended. The ladies from Alphonso’s Catering complimented us by mentioning to me “what a nice group of gentlemen the Bricklayers are” and that “they would work for the Bricklayers anytime.” Thanks to President of the Retiree’s Club Geno Summa for his humorous speech which had us all in stitches. Thanks also for the much appreciated help from Tom Cowan, Sal Filippelli, Joe Coreno, and Cynthia Roth to make this function a successful one.

Be on the lookout for wasp and hornet nests. Always know where the first aid kit is. Remember, it’s thunderstorm season. Don’t wait for lightning to strike your trowel before you take cover. Safety is everybody’s job, not just the Steward’s. Look out for one another and have a safe, prosperous, and happy summer! Local 5 E-Mail: Brick5@Core.Com. To see May 2010's copy of The Citizen,
